“Physically Distanced but Academically Engaged”
Since this course is included in the licensure examination
for teachers, you will be required to take the Multiple
Choice Question exam inside the University. This should
be scheduled ahead of time by your course coordinator.
This is non-negotiable for all licensure-based programs.
To ensure honesty and authenticity, all assessment
tasks are required to be submitted through Turnitin with
a maximum similarity index of 30% allowed. This means
that if your paper goes beyond 30%, the students will
either opt to redo her/his paper or explain in writing
addressed to the course coordinator the reasons for the
similarity. In addition, if the paper has reached more
than 30% similarity index, the student may be called for
a disciplinary action in accordance with the University’s
OPM on Intellectual and Academic Honesty.
Please note that academic dishonesty such as cheating
and commissioning other students or people to complete
the task for you have severe punishments (reprimand,
warning, expulsion).
The score for an assessment item submitted after the
designated time on the due date, without an approved
extension of time, will be reduced by 5% of the possible
maximum score for that assessment item for each day
or part day that the assessment item is late.
However, if the late submission of assessment paper
has a valid reason, a letter of explanation should be
submitted and approved by the course coordinator. If
necessary, you will also be required to present/attach
evidences.
Assessment tasks will be returned to you two (2) weeks
after the submission. This will be returned by email or
via Blackboard portal.
For group assessment tasks, the course coordinator will
require some or few of the students for online or virtual
sessions to ask clarificatory questions to validate the
originality of the assessment task submitted and to
ensure that all the group members are involved.
You should request in writing addressed to the course
coordinator his/her intention to resubmit an assessment
task. The resubmission is premised on the student’s
failure to comply with the similarity index and other
reasonable grounds such as academic literacy

Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

This is branch of science that studies the behavior of fluids when they are in state of
motion or rest. It is subjected to different forces and different climatic conditions.

Fluids
A substance that flows is called as fluid. All liquid and gaseous substances are
considered to be fluids. Primarily we have common three phases of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
However, we will just focus to liquid and gaseous phases of matter in this subject because these
are the only phases that are capable of flowing.

a. Distinction between a solid and fluid

This distinction is made on the basis of the substance’s ability to resist an applied shear
(tangential) stress that tends to change its shape. A solid can resist an applied shear stress by
deforming, whereas a fluid deforms continuously under the influence of shear stress, no matter
how small.
Moreover, stress in solids are proportional to strain but in fluids, stress is proportional to
strain rate.

b. Differences between liquid and gases

Liquid Gases
Difficult to compress and often regarded as Easily to compress – changes of volume is
incompressible large, cannot normally be neglected and are
related to temperature

Occupies a fixed volume and will take the No fixed volume, it changes volume to expand
shape of the container to fill the containing vessels

A free surface is formed if the volume of Completely fill the vessel so that no free
container is greater than the liquid. surface is formed.

Branches of Fluid Mechanics

a. Fluid Statics - The fluid which is in state of rest is called as static fluid.

b. Fluid Kinematics - The fluid which is in state of motion is called as moving fluid. The
study of moving fluid without considering the effect of external pressures.

c. Fluid Dynamics - The branch of science which studies the effect of all pressures
including the external pressures on the moving fluid.

fluid.

3. Specific gravity – This refers to the property of fluids that is the ratio of specific weight
of the given fluid to the specific weight of standard fluid.

4. Specific heat – This refers to the amount of unit mass required to raise the temperature
by one-degree Celsius.

5. Specific volume – This refers to the property of fluids that is the volume of a fluid

Properties of Fluids

a. Density – is the mass per unit volume of a fluid. In other words, it is the ratio between mass
(m) and volume (V) of a fluid. Density is denoted by the symbol ‘ρ’ (rho). Its unit is in kg/m3.

Density can be solved by:

Density (ρ) = Mass (kg) / Volume (m3)

b. Viscosity – Viscosity is the fluid property that determines the amount of resistance of the
fluid to shear stress. It is the property of the fluid due to which the fluid offers resistance to flow
of one layer of the fluid over another adjacent layer.

c. Temperature – It is the property that determines the degree of hotness or coldness or the
level of heat intensity of a fluid. Temperature is measured by using temperature scales.
Temperature can be in Degrees Celsius, Degrees Fahrenheit or Kelvin.

How to Solve for the different units in temperature:

Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (F) F = °C (9/5 + 32

Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (°C) °C = (F – 32) x 5/9

Kelvin (K) to Celsius (°C) °C = K – 273.15

Kelvin (K) to Fahrenheit (F) F = (K – 273.15) x 9/5 + 32

College of Teacher Education “Physically Distanced but Academically Engaged”

d. Pressure – is the force per unit area of the fluid. It is denoted by the letter “P”. it has a unit
of N/m2. Where N is Newton, the unit for Force and m 2 the unit for Area. It is also equivalent to
pascals (Pa). Therefore, 1 N/m2 = 1 Pa.

How to solve Pressure:

Pressure (P) = F / A

Other units commonly used in practice:

1 N/m2 = 1 Pa

1 kPa = 103 Pa

1 MPa = 106 Pa

1 atm = 101, 325 Pa

1 atm = 101.325 kPa

e. Specific Volume – is the is the volume of a fluid (V) occupied per unit mass (m). It is the
reciprocal of density. Specific volume is denoted by the symbol ‘v’. Its unit is m3/kg.

How to solve Specific Volume:

Specific volume (v) = V / m

f. Specific Weight – is the weight possessed by unit volume of a fluid. It is denoted by ‘w’. Its
unit is N/m3.

How to solve Specific Weight:

Specific weight (w) = weight (N) / Volume (m3)

College of Teacher Education “Physically Distanced but Academically Engaged”

g. Specific Gravity – is the ratio of specific weight of the given fluid to the specific weight
of standard fluid. It is denoted by the letter ‘S’. It has no unit.

Specific gravity may also be defined as the ratio between density of the given fluid to the
density of standard fluid.

How to solve Specific Gravity using Specific weight:

Specific gravity (S) = Specific weight of a given fluid/ Specific weight of standard fluid

How to solve Specific Weight using density:

Specific gravity (S) = Density of a given fluid/ Density of standard fluid

h. Specific Heat – is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by
one degree Celsius. The amount of heat to be supplied to a given mass of a material to
produce a unit change in its temperature.
